What is Locus?

Locus enables AI agents to autonomously send and manage payments with configurable policies and controls. Built on blockchain technology, Locus provides a secure, programmable payment layer that allows developers to build AI applications with real-world financial capabilities.

Key Features

  • AI-Native Payment Infrastructure - Purpose-built for AI agents to send money autonomously

  • Smart Wallet Management - Create and manage blockchain wallets on Base (Mainnet and Testnet)

  • Policy-Based Controls - Define spending limits, approved contacts, and budget constraints for your agents

  • Multiple Authentication Methods - Support for OAuth (Client ID/Secret) and API Keys

  • Framework Integration - Works seamlessly with LangChain and Claude SDK

  • Instant Setup - Get started in minutes with our CLI tool

How It Works

  1. Create a Wallet - Deploy a smart contract wallet on Base blockchain

  2. Fund with USDC - Add funds via Coinbase OnRamp or transfer USDC directly

  3. Set Policies - Configure spending rules and permissions for your AI agents

  4. Connect Your Agent - Use our SDK with LangChain or Claude to enable payments

  5. Let Your Agent Transact - Your AI can now send payments within your defined policies

Use Cases

Perfect for building:

  • AI Payment Assistants - Agents that can pay bills, send money to contacts, or handle transactions

  • Autonomous Financial Workflows - Automated payment systems with AI decision-making

  • Smart Treasury Management - AI-driven budget allocation and spending

  • Conversational Commerce - Chatbots and assistants with real payment capabilities

  • Agent-to-Agent Payments - Enable AI systems to transact with each other
